That's great. Being not a product of the British gene pool, I somehow missed
"Red Dwarf." :-)
I wondered just after posting that maybe I should have added a bit of context
as Dwarfism is a bit of an English thing and may not have travelled well.
The scouser is the last human alive and is a useless, beer drinking slob. He
survived a nuclear blast that wiped out the crew because he was in suspended
animation as punishment for smuggling a cat on board. The computer kept him
there for 3 million years and now his only company is a hologram of the person
he liked least, a creature that evolved from his cat and the robot butler
called Kryten - named after The Admirable Crichton from the movie of the same
name - Stuck on a mining ship with a senile computer their only hope is to try
and find their way back to Earth and not go crazy with boredom.

Or we could bypass human mimicry and build something innately superior in every
way. Exciting times.
It certainly wouldn't be difficult to design a better intelligence than the
pathetic version that humans have displayed over the centuries. The first
concept that a halfway decent AI would throw out as the joke it is is religion.
Ah, maybe not:
